Lately \u201cassume positive intent\u201d is a thing. I think it\u2019s amazing how things like this can get perverted.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the workplace, this is a very simple concept. Let\u2019s say Susie doesn\u2019t complete her report when it was due. Coworkers should assume Susie meant to complete the report, she probably isn\u2019t stupid or lazy. Susie set out with good intentions to complete the report. It\u2019s supposed to put a person into the mindset of approaching Susie in a positive way to understand what caused her not to finish her report. This enables everyone to get to the root of the problem and solve it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You know what this doesn\u2019t mean. That you should keep assuming positive intent after Susie hasn\u2019t completed any reports in 3 months and isn’t holding herself accountable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Intent is now a perverted buzzword.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I strongly believe people who say things like \u201cIntent is everything\u201d are irresponsible. It\u2019s something<\/em> but clearly, it\u2019s not everything<\/em>. It\u2019s a strange way of not holding yourself accountable for shitty results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is this thing called murder where you intentionally kill another person. There is also this thing called manslaughter where you accidentally kill another person. Is murder worse than manslaughter? Legally, yes. Are the results the same? Absolutely. Whether your intent was to kill another person or not you did and you are still going to prison. Intent is\u00a0something<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Good intentions doesn\u2019t mean not being accountable for the results of your intentions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s negligent to go around causing harm and not holding yourself accountable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 The fug.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lately \u201cassume positive intent\u201d is a thing.
